The Jimbo Slice memorial thread, feat Nate Dogg - The new Off Topic thread

One thing that never ceases to amaze me with the gym is the sheer craziness of some people.
The other day, a women was using calf raise machine that was loaded to the hilt with plates. Tried to do a few reps, struggled immediately and blew her ankle. I don't know if it was a broken bone, or a torn ligament. I'd guess it was one or the other though. Stupid behaviour leads to accidents, the gym is no acceptation.
Then her lawyer contact the gym to let them know she is sueing them for damages. WTF?

I'm sorry she was hurt of course. But you you try to lift a weight that's too heavy for you, and you hurt yourself, that's your fault imo.

I thought you meant the hickory at first!, I got hickory in dealz 2years ago 400g for 1.50, not sure if it is there now.

woodies are charing ?9.99 for 700g :eek:

I don't use chips to be honest. I use chunks in a Weber smokey mountain. That's a ridiculous price for chips.

I'm working off the last of my hickory chunks I shipped home from the US in 2014. I shipped about 10kg home, goes a long way.

The last week or so I've been having cornflakes as a snack in the evening. Too lazy to weigh them so I've diligently been logging them as 40g servings.
Finally weighed them today ... turns out it's been 20g all along.

OK so firstly I want to apologise for the long winded nature of the story. I'm a long time follower of Hanleys mails and training programs and always read the daily emails from him but unfortunately I have never had the chance to train in RevFit as I am based down in the west of the country but I have noticed a funny/worrying trend lately that is indirectly related to Hanley.

There is a gym down here close to where I work which Hanley gave a seminar in 1 day a couple of years ago, this same gym has recently changed from a commercial style to a more 1 to 1 or group PT orientated approach. (All pretty boring so far I know but bare with me.)

I am on the mailing list for both Gyms so today I get an email from both 1st from Hanley @ 9am titled "Do These 3 Things To Tone Up & Lose Weight Before Summer's Out" and secondly from the local gym @ 11:30am titled "3 Ways to lose weight this summer". I thought surely a coincidence given the topic and time of year etc but when I went on to read the mails large parts of Hanleys mail are just copied and pasted into the one from my local guy, the rest just changed slightly. There have been similar mails before where I have gotten a biut of deja vu from reading them but never as blatant as today.

I am just wondering if anyone else thinks there is something wrong with this or am I just overreacting, maybe there is a link between the 2 gyms that I am unaware of as this particular local gym is not where I go. Just looking forward to some opinions on it and as Hanley was involved this seemed like the best place for it!

I know what gym you are on about as I was a member there. I unsubscribed from the email as the grammar and layout of the emails was very unprofessional and there was way too many emails coming in. Can you look back and see if there is a pattern?

There's another gym in the town that was doing group training, PT and Semi PT training before them and they've basically just turned in to that gym. That's not a slight on them. I lost a lot of weight when I was a member there and enjoyed myself to a degree there.

I'm sure if Hanley is still looking in and it wasn't authorised then he'll be looking into it himself now.

How likely or unlikely is it that you could break a rib squatting with a belt on?

Felt a pop and am in quite a bit of pain.

It's certainly possible. Could also be intercostal muscle injury.

Ever bronek a rib before? Did a few years back and if I push it I can literally feel them stretching, not nice.
Don't think they ever really heal properly, hopefully it's just strained.

Hoping its the muscle part.

Yeah the same one that I think this one is, it was the same kind of feeling, pain but not agony. The agony came the next day.

Funny thing is mine never bother me during bp, it's heavy squats that aggravate it.

I've been making granola lately and it's the business as a snack very easy to make too for cheap given Aldi have loads of nuts in their baking section. I'm sure you might have come across this guy before but his videos are hilarious and I pretty much just followed the general idea for his recipes....the power stone is key

Have had the chance to catch up on all the episodes of Danny Lennon's Sigma Powerlifting Podcast and it's definitely worth subscribing to.

Helluva line up there so far.

It's really excellent. Also one recently on the nutrition podcast that focused on sports psychology and mental cues. Really interesting!

That the one with Arthor and the researcher from UL?

Edit: listened in to Britt Gubbs and JP Cauchi - Powerlifting Exposed - and it's hilariously unstructured but it's cool listening to the lads just talking about something in powerlifting and really get into it

Must give that a listen as well

Only two episodes so far. First had John Haack and Joey Flexx on it. Second was just BG and JP discussing what change to make to powerlifting to improve it.

Been cutting weight lately. A few comps coming up and want to get down a division. Down 3.5kg in 6 weeks.

Was roughly maintaining strength. Even increasing some lifts. But in the last two weeks bench disappeared. Last fours weeks have been; all sets I was aiming for 5 reps

96 x 5
97.5 x 3
97.5 x 3 (missed twice decided to wind back a bit)
93.5 x 4
92.5 x 3

As you can see, I'm going backwards. Do you think it's just the inevitable falling when dieting. Or do I need to go to the dark side and get on the creatine

If you've been training for a few years it's inevitable IMO. Energy levels just don't stay the same. I've been cutting for ~10 weeks, probably increased bench on first few weeks but regressed since then to losing around 1 or 2 reps on my 5RM.

I think it's more to do with you have much less good sessions when cutting due to calorie deficit. Anyone who 'increases' weights during a cut is probably going into a surplus on some days without realising - not necessarily a bad thing but you just won't gain on a deficit (when natty no creatine).

How hard are you dieting? Have you tried a refeee day before benching?

Obviously a joke with the darkside comment but why would you ever cut without creatine? Like why pull back on the creatine if you normally use it.

Hard enough tbh.
Low carb most days, maybe 800-1000 cal deficit.
High carb on Thursday, still prob in deficit but smaller. Cheat meal at the weekend. Burger, a few drinks, cinema, ribs and wings, pizza. That sort of stuff.

I just found it weird that I was maintaining f numbers, even adding a rep or two. Then plummeted recently. More so in bench.
But that might be because I'm doing full bench vrs variations in deadlift/squat. Prob is actually.

I'm not pulling back when cutting specifically. I essentially never use it. Bought 2 small bags years ago. Threw out one half full, the other is still there unopened, probably out of date.

I'd be interested to see how it affects my water retention though. Need to be 1kg lighter in a month.

Following on from the Adidas sale post I found these on Amazon the other day :-)
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00M495XQ6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Arrived yesterday, hoping to break them in tonight.
Quick question on sizing - Is it okay if your big toe is touching the front of the shoe ?
I imagine these will soften a bit with use so didn't want to size up
I find Adidas trainers narrow so I think that might have something to do with it ?
